Another great week!!

Lisa and Kjersti in comp mode

As the season gallops to an end the roxy snow team girls are riding strong on the top of the TTR ranking list having notched up yet more podium places over the last week or so. The season just seems to get better and better for the Roxy snow team with Kjersti starting of the latest run of great results with a win in the FIS half pipe World Cup in Spain last week, putting her in a very secure position for an Olympic spot next season and showing he rest of the field that no matter how sketchy the pipe is she can still throw it big and clean. She took this spirit on to the US Open where she defended her strongly contested slopestyle title to win back to back firsts at the Open in the slopestyle event. Combined with her 4th place in the halfpipe, this meant she won another Volvo to match the one she won at the European Open. Close on her heels for the Volvo were Lisa Wiik and Torah Bright both showing that they are great all rounders and certainly no one event ponies. Torah won the pipe and was 4th in the slopestyle while Lisa was 9th in the pipe and just missed the qualification for finals in the slopestyle However it is Lisa Wiik who claimed the second place in the Burton Open standings just behind Jamie Anderson showing just how successful her season has been. And it is not over yet as she is currently in second place in the TTR standings going in to the last event of the season, the Roxy Chicken Jam in Mammoth California next week. It is going to be an exciting week for the Roxy team as Torah, Kjersti and Lisa can all do very well in the Chicken Jam and in the overall TR standings. I am on the edge of my seat with anticipation. GO GIRLS!!!!

Away from the slopstyle and halfpipe comps, Emily Aubry has been showing just how good her riding skills are by winning the overall FIS Europa Cup boarder X tour. We may well see Emily at the Olympics next season in the Boarder X event. Mille Windfelt and Eveline Bhend from the roxy ski team having been joining in the run of great results as well with Eveline taking second place in the big air at the Nippon Open and Mille also doing really well with her comeback to competition with a 7th in the half pipe and a 4th in the big air at the Nippon Open. 

Mille is on the up again

On the Freeride World Tour, our very own free ride rookie Aline Bock has finished the season in a well earned second place in the World freeride ranking after the last two events in Tignes and Verbier. Aline has made a great breakthrough in to the world of freeride comps this season and is sure to go from strength to strength next season. Well done Aline!!

Powder for the Roxy crew

The rest of the Roxy team who are working hard away from the competition scene are also having an epic time this season. Andrea Binning has been making the most of great conditions in Chamonix while Margot, Tania, Suray,  Lena and myself are all getting some great picture and filming snowy opportunities around Europe. I am currently looking forward to the usual late March snowfall to get one last run at the powder in Chamonix. It really has been a great snow year so far so I am sure I will not be let down.
